I had a couple express mail shipments that have taken 3 weeks but other than the slowness I have not had problems. Here in canada the post office's all have signs up saying that they are not guaranteeing the delivery times on their guaranteed delivery types of service to the US and I called Canada post who assured me that all mail is safe but just slow as customs inspectors go over it. I have not encountered anything unusual in my shipments to Europe. They all arrive when I expect that they would and though I have sent a few packages to asia and australia I havent sent enough to get an idea if things are normal there.</P> <P>My last 300 kilo shipment of air freighted meteorites from morocco had a stamp on it saying that it was "X-rayed" which I have not seen before. Today I also got a mail package from morocco (Under a kilo) and customs opened it.With arabic writing on it that would be expected right now anyway I guess but they often open packages anyway since the customs people here in canada is pretty anal in comparison to the rest of the world anyway (Except maybe austria).</P> <P>So dont stop bidding on ebay. Just give it a little extra time to arrive.</P> <P>Cheers</P> <P>DEAN ("amunre" on ebay)<BR><BR></P><BR><BR><BR>_____________________________________________________________________ </DIV>You dont have to go to NASA to get a Rock from outer space.
